Banken, verzekeraars en pensioenfondsen zouden beter moeten samenwerken, maar ook moeten de regels voor bijvoorbeeld aanbestedingen worden aangepast.

There is also this FD (Financial newspaper) article that covers the press conference:

DNB: financiรซle sector moet binnen vijf jaar minder afhankelijk zijn van VS
(link to archived version: https://archive.is/FsnM7)

It doesn't say that much more than the NOS article, but here is their summary (translated by Deepl):

In brief

  • DNB warns of the risks associated with dependence on American IT service providers.
  • The regulator wants financial institutions to take responsibility.
  • Flexible contracts and joint procurement, among other measures, should help to reduce dependence.
